During the past few days I have been on a buying spree which resulted in the following items coming my way legohappy

3 x Small Garages
3 x Street Light Packs
3 x Pine Tree Packs
3 x Small Trees
3 x Flower Packs
3 x Prickly Bush Packs
3 x Park Bench Pack

1 x Forest Police Station # 4440
1 x Large Grey Baseplate

The last item I bought today was the Police Station # 7498 to specifically cater for parts so I can hopefully restore the Fire Brigade Modular Building and other buildings I decide to build in the future !!!

[quote="Kaila21"][color=indigo]Had a few sets piling up in the last couple weeks,

most of these train boxes contain all the trays and for their age are in excellent condition I would say, I'm especially happy with the near perfect condition of 7710

Wow!

That certainly is an impressive collection that you have there.

I love the 12v trains but I became disillusioned with the constant track cleaning and so changed them over to 9v a few years ago. I do miss all of the switches though.

I hope everything goes well for you health wise.

Since it is the first day of another Target 20% Toy Sale I managed to pick up the last new Helicopter Rescue # 4429 that was still on the shelve for $71.20 legohappy

Didn't expect it but since my birthday is coming up I thought why not !!!

Got a friend in the US to grab me Haunted House and ship it over, ended paying just on $230 for it shipped from the US to me saved myself a near $100

by **brickie** Fri 21 Sep 2012, 3:07 am

Well done Hemish; certainly a bargain.

The set is great; I saw it being built last weekend.

Unfortunately, I believe, LEGO in the USA are no longer shipping to sites like 'Hop,Shop,Go' and 'ShopUSA'; who would then forward the parcels on to Australia.

So having a friend in USA is great.

Bought the Pet Shop from shopforme for $230 delivered. Not the best price going but still not too bad. Got some more 80's train sets delivered and on the way, will post those pics soon-ish.

The exact same thing happened to me with the same Lego set on the same day, weird.
It was the second set I bought and I turned it into a custom caravan with some small modifications, I think it looks better than the original.

Over the past few weeks I've had sets arriving through the post as well as picking up some locally, here's some pics -

Are the Lego Emporium and pet shop large buildings?

Hm well depends on your perspective of 'large' but as you can see in the second last pic the pet shop is sitting on the bedside table there. The base size is about half the size of a pillow and the height is reasonable.. (sorry for not being very descriptive lol) Personally for me I would like it larger but your getting around 2000 pieces for $200 so I guess it's okay..

by LEGO_JOJO Sat 13 Oct 2012, 12:05 pm

Today I bought:

9464 The Vampyre Hearse
6873 Spider-Man's™ Doc Ock™ Ambush
6868 Hulk's™ Helicarrier Breakout
6858 Catwoman Catcycle City Chase

Now I have complete Avengers set and Batman Set

Another order just turned up and I finally got back some of my stolen castle sets from long long ago. I actually never did own Guarded Inn so it's kind of a bonus lol.

And a few town sets came as well.

There's something about those windowed sets that I TRULY adore. It's so nice to be able to lift the cover and see whats inside without opening the box. Do these window type boxes even exist on any sets nowadays? I never see them if they do and it's kind of abyssal IMO to be very blunt about it.

I would love to have a list of all the windowed sets and I'd make them a priority for collecting. I wonder if any sites have such a list??

Oh, you lucky duck......MISB castle and Shell collectable's.....enjoy building them.
Though I hate to see how much they cost you for that lot. legowink

$683 AU (after conversion from Euro) Those 7 sets were all in that one order. I'm quite pleased with the condition of the castle stuff. I really love Shell sets hence am trying to collect them all eventually, have the main ones in transit although 6394 is proving elusive to find with the clear plastic inner trays included.

What I bought today - Page 26 6394-110

These days I don't buy unless the set (and packaging) is 100% complete.

by **Lightningtiger** Mon 15 Oct 2012, 11:07 am

Nice to have money like that......I wish you luck finding that set.....oh, that's right supporter number 70 for someone's Shell Roadhouse aren't you. legowink
